December 14, 2018 PWS Families,     The excitement of the weeks before vacation is always very high at an elementary school. One of the things we cherish is the sound of children singing holiday songs throughout the school. It has been great to see that excitement turn into some true and authentic learning opportunities with the students. Whether it is first graders working on Breakout sessions to rescue Rudolph or second graders diligently researching animal habitats, the students are engaged and working well.       We received a thank you note this week from the Bedford High School students who coordinated the Halloween donation drive for UNICEF. Thanks to your generosity we were able to contribute $664.75.      Speaking of donations, our Lost and Found area is teeming with items. All items remaining after December 21st will be donated to those in need. Please take a moment next week to check out this area and claim anything that may belong to your child.         Finally, we want to thank and give well wishes to our Student Teachers who have worked so hard with our students this semester. Thank you to Ashley Brand in Mrs. O'Rourke's class, Mary Theresa Whalen in Mrs. Beecher's class, and Daniel Espinoza in Mrs. Piantedosi's Art class.

November 16, 2018 PWS Families, Thank you for all you did to ensure that staff and students were able to arrive safely this morning. Sometimes our short weeks become even shorter due to Mother Nature. Adding snow into the mix increases the excitement level in the building.

Students were able to sing patriotic songs, learn about Veterans Day, and thank some local Veterans who were able to join us.  It has been very nice to see all the parents come through the school as parent teacher conferences wrap up. We can't thank you enough for the level of support and cooperation we feel from all of you in ensuring every student's success.
